Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens

Transform Your Backyard into an Outdoor Paradise

Imagine spending cool fall evenings by a crackling outdoor fireplace or hosting summer cookouts in a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. These are not just luxury amenities anymore. They are extensions of your living space that let you enjoy your property year-round while adding significant value to your home.

At KXM Knoxville Masonry, we design and build outdoor fireplaces and kitchens throughout Knoxville, TN and the surrounding areas. We create custom outdoor living spaces that match your style, fit your property, and work with your budget. Whether you want a simple pizza oven or a complete outdoor kitchen with counters, cabinets, and a built-in grill, we bring the expertise to make it happen.

We have been building outdoor living spaces in East Tennessee for years. We understand how to design features that withstand our weather extremes, from hot, humid summers to freezing winter nights. Our masonry work is built to last generations, not just a few seasons.

Custom Outdoor Fireplaces That Make a Statement

Wood-Burning Fireplaces

Nothing beats the ambiance of a real wood fire. The crackling sounds, the smell of wood smoke, and the dancing flames create an experience you cannot replicate with gas. We build traditional wood-burning fireplaces with proper chimneys, fireboxes, and dampers. We design them for efficient burning and minimal smoke while maximizing heat output into your seating area.

Gas Fireplaces

Gas fireplaces offer convenience without sacrificing ambiance. Flip a switch and you have instant warmth and beautiful flames. No wood to split, no ashes to clean, no waiting for the fire to catch. We install natural gas or propane systems with decorative logs, glass, or stones. Modern gas fireplaces look remarkably realistic and produce plenty of heat.

Pizza Ovens

Outdoor pizza ovens have become incredibly popular, and for good reason. They cook amazing pizzas in just a few minutes and work great for bread, roasted vegetables, and all kinds of dishes. We build traditional brick pizza ovens and modern stainless steel models. Either way, you get authentic wood-fired cooking that will impress your guests and become the focal point of your outdoor entertaining.

Outdoor Kitchens Built for Serious Cooking

An outdoor kitchen is more than just a grill on your patio. It is a fully functional cooking space that lets you prepare entire meals without going inside. We design outdoor kitchens around how you cook and entertain. Some clients want basic setups with a grill and some counter space. Others want the full setup with refrigerators, sinks, storage, and multiple cooking surfaces.

We build the masonry structure that forms the foundation of your outdoor kitchen. We create solid bases for built-in grills, install countertops, build storage areas, and construct protective covers. We work with brick, natural stone, stacked stone, and other materials to match your home and landscape. Everything we build is designed to withstand weather and heavy use.

Counter space is critical in outdoor kitchens. We install granite, concrete, or tile countertops that resist heat, stains, and weather. We make sure you have enough room to prep food, serve dishes, and set up a bar area for drinks. Smart design makes the difference between an outdoor kitchen you use all the time and one that sits empty.

We also consider practical details like lighting, electrical outlets, gas lines, and water supply. We coordinate with electricians and plumbers to ensure everything is properly integrated. The result is an outdoor kitchen that functions as well as your indoor kitchen while letting you enjoy being outside. When combined with custom stone patios, your outdoor space becomes a true extension of your home.
